SnapSort

SnapSort Memory is a casual game which aims at testing and improving your visual memory. Various numbers will be flashed on the screen before they became white circles. Try your best to remember what and where those numbers are. Touch the circles in the low to high order. After 10 trials, your brain age will be calculated based on your test results. See if your brain is at its 20s or 70s, then try to improve it day by day.

UP-up-UP-so-HIGH~ 
 
Need to vent your frustration for this crazy world OR just in a play mood to challenge your buddy (lend him/her your iPhone if the poor one doesn't have one, will you?) or compete with other iPhone/iPod Touch fellows around the globe?
 
TOSS it HIGH up in the sky to let your iPhone/iPod Touch FLY (then of course try all your means to catch it before it hits the ground!)!
 
A dialogue box will pop-up when you are among the TOP 10 asking for your name.  Or press the "Cancel" button if you don't want to be admired. The whole list can be found when you hit the blue "Top 10" button in the lower right corner of the screen.
 
Fun. Challenging. And good physical exercise.  What are you waiting for?
 
NOTE: We do not think the minor weight differences between iPhone and iPod Touch (less than 0.7 ounces or 20 grams) would have an impact on its ability to perform.  If you find otherwise, please let us know and we will have a seperate Top 10 list for each device for a fair game :)
 
*************** 
Winning TIPS:
***************
1, Try not to make your device spin, otherwise it thinks it's dancing on a table. 
2, Throwing it upwards provides it longer air time than throwing with an angle, given the same initial speed.
3, Dropping it from the top of a skyscraper is a good idea, as long as somebody (else) is going to catch it.
4, Taking it with you to skydiving may or may not work, depending on air resistance and availability of Internet (to record a high score).  It has to be a free fall. Skydiving without a parachute may work. We didn't test it (yet). 
 
Be creative.
 
Oh, last words: no cheating, please.

True North

Get your orientation using the sun or the moon.  Or use it as a fun application to amaze your school-age kids.

 

FEATURES:

*Can be used in daytime and night time as long as either the sun or the moon is visible; 

*Automatically selects which celestrial object to use based on the time of the day;

*Handles daylight saving time;

*Works in both northern and southern hemisphere;

*Automatically retrives location information for increased accuracy;

 

The north shown here is the true north, not magnetic north.  It can be different from what your magnetic compass shows.  The difference between true north and magnetic north varies, depending on where you are located.
